Why Pregnancy-Safe Skincare Matters
Some of the ingredients that work wonders on your adult skin aren’t quite safe for that friend in your belly. Even though you’re not ingesting your skincare (we hope!), the ingredients that get absorbed into your skin can still affect your growing bub.
Plus, pregnancy (and all the hormonal changes) might cause some new skin issues to crop up, so you might want to tweak your routine to tackle some of those.
Safe Ingredients We Love
Pregnancy might mean putting a few of your favourite skincare picks to the back of your medicine cabinet, but there’s still plenty of pregnancy-safe Go-To products left to love. During this time, it’s best to opt for gentle and nourishing ingredients.
Start your skincare routine with Fancy Face. Our very nourishing, pregnancy-safe cleansing oil. Loaded with five botanical plant oils and essential fatty acids, Fancy Face melts away makeup, SPF, and the crumbs of even your weirdest pregnancy cravings. No dryness, tightness, and absolutely no messing around with your skin’s barrier—just an astonishing clean and super soft skin.
Follow up with Juicy Gel. Gentle, soap-free, and ultra-soothing, this is our pregnancy-safe gel cleanser, packed with soothing (and safe!) ingredients. Think: Cucumber extract to hydrate, plump, and cool the skin, lotus root water for its conditioning properties, and aloe vera to combat dryness and keep the skin supple.
Keep your skin bright while pregnant with the help of our pregnancy-safe vitamin C serum. Much Brighter Skin is formulated with 10% sodium ascorbyl phosphate, (a highly stable, anti-microbial, non-irritating form of vitamin C), niacinamide, and kakadu plum to improve skin radiance and even skin tone. Designed to target hyperpigmentation, Much Brighter Skin helps to brightens dark spots caused by acne, post-inflammatory pigmentation, or hormonal changes—making it a great pick for pregnant skin.
Next, fake that elusive pregnancy glow you so desperately deserve with our five-stariest, award-winning, pregnancy-safe face oil (Face Hero). This terrifically powerful, fantastically nourishing face oil soothes, revitalises, and helps to protect the face against bad guys (the free radical kind). A bonafide can’t-live-without skincare product, you won’t have to go for even a day without her.
Second last, lock in all your hard work with our deeply replenishing and pregnancy-safe moisturiser, Very Luxe Face Cream. If you’re growing a whole other human being, you deserve a face cream that means serious business. This one’s been clinically proven* to make your skin feel smoother, tighter, and significantly firmer and help to improve the complexion of every dedicated moisturiser-er. Finish your routine with your SPF of choice from the Nifty Fifty Family.
Plus, don’t forget your body. Our pregnancy-safe body wash, Shower Party, promises to thoroughly soften, soothe, and cleanse while Oil Over (our pregnancy-safe firming body oil) will replenish and hydrate with its delicious, nourishing formula.
Other pregnancy-safe Go-To staples include: Exfoliating Swipeys, Very Useful Face Cream, Very Lightweight Moisturiser, Lips!, Lip Hero, Glow Exfoliator, Gentle Exfoliator, and Properly Clean.
Ingredients We Avoid
While all Go-To products are crafted with care, safety, and effectiveness in mind, there’s a few Ingredients that aren’t safe to use when you’re growing a human.
Pre and post-natal, it’s best to avoid any vitamin A products, including Very Amazing Retinal and De-Crease. Steer clear of these products whilst pregnant and breastfeeding.
Beta hydroxy acids, like salicylic acid, also aren’t safe for use during pregnancy so we’d recommend swapping Clarifying Exfoliator for Glow Exfoliator or Gentle Exfoliator for the time being.
